Avengers: Infinity War UK release date moves forward by one day

UK fans will now get to see the blockbuster a whole day before anyone else.

Marvel Studios has announced that Avengers: Infinity War will be released in the UK a day earlier. The news comes shortly after the worldwide release date was brought forward to the original UK date of Friday, 27 April.

Thursday, 26 April is now the day Marvel fans in the UK will be able to see part one of what is a culmination of ten years of superhero storytelling, as the Marvel Cinematic Universe unites to fight Josh Brolin's galactic nuisance Thanos.

Last week (1 March) Marvel brought forward the worldwide release date by a week, from 4 May to 27 April. It seemed to end a streak of Marvel movies opening early in the UK, but that streak now continues.

The trend will be bucked later this year however when Ant-Man & The Wasp opens nearly a month after it does in the US, on 3 August rather than 6 July.

Infinity War is the culmination of ten years of big-screen storytelling. From Iron Man in the summer of 2008 to Black Panther's release in February, everything has been leading to to a fight for the future of the universe bringing together the entire MCU.
